I love the holiday season for so many reasons. It means I get to slow down for a couple of weeks and spend time with my family. It also means that I have time get creative in the kitchen.

My whole family loves seafood. However, I don't often have time to prepare it properly, so I end up using it more over the holidays. We all love finger foods and appetizers. In fact, we often make meals solely out of appetizers.

Today, I'm going to share one of my favorite seafood-based appetizers with you – Mini Crab Tartlets. They taste so super delicious and they're really filling too. After 4 or 5 of them, I'm stuffed!

Since they're so filling, they're great to prepare on a night where you just want to fill up on appetizers. They're also great for holiday parties because they're rich and filling, so no one will eat too many of them and there will be plenty to go around.

While a lot of people will use canned crab for their appetizers, I prefer to use fresh cracked crab. I used Wild Alaska Snow Crab in this recipe, sourced from the seafood counter at my local grocery store.

Did you know that nearly 60% of the wild seafood harvested in the US comes from Alaska? That's because the pristine Alaska waters are a great source of high quality seafood.

When you buy Alaska Snow Crab, it's always wild and it's always pre-cooked before it's frozen. I love that because it means I don't have to figure out how to cook it properly, it's super easy to add to recipes and it's really quick to get on the table for a meal.

If you haven't cooked with Wild Alaska Snow Crab before, it has a sweet and succulent taste. It's a great source of protein, yet low in both calories and fat. My gallbladder thanks me for making a healthful choice!
